“Shepherd” Script

(The “shepherd” enters the room as if looking for a lost sheep. The person

notices the class members, and the dialogue that follows begins.)

Shepherd: Excuse me, I didn’t mean to interrupt your class, but I am looking for a lost

sheep.

Teacher: We are studying Psalm 23, which describes a great shepherd.

Shepherd: I know it well.

Teacher: Please tell the class about the psalm.

Shepherd: (The shepherd quotes Psalm 23.)

Teacher: Will you please help us understand the heart of a shepherd?

Shepherd: (Talk about Psalm 23 from a shepherd’s point of view. Talk about places

you took the sheep and the different ways you took care of them, according to verses

1-4.)

Teacher: (to the class) Would you like to ask the “shepherd” questions about the

psalm?

Class: (The class asks questions about Psalm 23.)

Shepherd: Even though I am a shepherd, the greatest shepherd of all is God. He takes

care of us at all times no matter what the circumstances of life. (Then refer to the

ideas in verses 5-6. After your comments, pretend to hear one of your sheep. Begin to

leave to take care of this sheep. Then turn around to the class.)

Shepherd: You know, that is the way God is. God knows the cry of his sheep and

whether they are in trouble or not. You always know that God cares for you.

Shepherd: (Turning to leave) I am coming. I care for you.
